Sheriff's deputies are searching for at least four men who abducted an east Harris County man at his work early Thursday, then terrorized his family at home.

The man, who has not been identified, was grabbed about 7 a.m. from his job at a horse ranch along West Cedar Bayou Lynchburg.

They brought the man to his home along the 14000 block of Waldine then tied up his wife and 23-year-old son for what authorities said was a robbery.

"They were asking them, 'Where is the money? Where is the money?'" said neighbor Minnie Arrendondo.

Sheriff's officials said the man told them he didn't have any cash for them.

After beating the homeowner and his son, the robbers used a Taser on everyone inside the home, including a 4-year-old child, officials said.

"They are nice people and I feel sorry for them," Arrendondo said.

Sheriff's officials said two of the attackers took the homeowner with them while the others fled on foot. The man was able to escape and was soon reunited with his relatives.

Arrendondo said the family had been living next door for about 20 years.

A man at the home declined to comment about the incident. Deputies did not have a detailed description of the attackers, who remain at large. Anyone with information is asked to contact Crime Stoppers at 713-222-TIPS.
